Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Currently, the "Edit Location" shortcut (F6) only focuses the location bar. In Konqueror, the equivalent shortcut (Ctrl+L) also cleared the bar, making it easier to start typing a new URL. However, that is not always preferable; personally I like the way e.g. Firefox does - Select the current text in the location bar.
SVN commit 775977 by ppenz: let F6 also select the whole text of the URL navigator to stay consistent with Konqueror and Firefox BUG: 157589 M +5 -0 dolphinmainwindow.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=775977
That's great! If we want to stay consistent with Konqueror and Firefox, shouldn't default shortcut for "Edit Location" be Ctrl+L? (Instead of F6). I thought this wasn't serious enough to require a new bug report, but in the future, would you prefer to have individual reports for these kind of "bugs"?
Hmm, Ctrl+L in Konqueror deletes the whole URL (KDE 3 + KDE 4), F6 in Konqueror behaves now equally like in Dolphin (-> selects whole URL). Also in Firefox F6 selects the whole URL. So I'm not sure...
Oh, so Konqueror had that feature - never knew about it. In that case, I think F6 is fine. Didn't know F6 selected the URL in Firefox too.
